A court here on Monday issued arrest warrant against BNP leaders Ruhul Kabir Rizvi and Ruhul Quddus Talukder Dulu in a Special Powers Act case filed with the capital's Shahbagh police station, reports BSS.
Dhaka metropolitan session judge KM Imrul Qayesh passed the order after taking the formal charge in the case into cognizance.
Confirming the matter to BSS, additional public prosecutor Tapos Kumar Paul said today was fixed for passing order on taking the formal charge into cognizance and the two accused were scheduled to appear before the court.
"The court issued arrest warrant against them as the two accused failed to appear for today's hearing," the lawyer said.
